It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

I said two months ago that I felt that as his likely destination with the contract situations of Varane and Ramos.

He has just changed his nationality to Spannish as well in terms of playing for the national team so again it would make a lot of sense for him.

Personally dont want to see him go but if he is unhappy we know Peps thoughts on players who dont want to be here!

We dont need a massive overhaul...we need one or two first team starters.....a forward and a defensive midfielder possibly......the squad is at a good age and has just smashed the premier league, won the CC and got tot he Champs league Final......its achieved a great season

Get a forward In (which we will I have zero doubt) and we are already much better off than last season as we basically played a huge part of the season without one.

Great post that Simon.

They will offer swap deals for him I reckon. Half the madrid squad are up for the chopping block.

We always seem to rest on our laurels in the transfer market when we've just won the league. I would expect one signing this summer and hopefully it's a striker

I dont think buying a 100m striker could be classed as resting on our laurels......!

Any player who publicly displays their unhappiness via interviews in the press can go for me.

Everyone knows how much I love Raz for example. But if he said what Laporte did publicly, I'd be happy to see him sold. No one is bigger than the club and anyone who speaks out of turn publicly is a disrespectful motherfucker IMO.

Would you take this for Laporte, seeing madrid are just offering two players at a time for a big signing, have to laugh one of them being Isco. But if they offered Isco and Asencio for Laporte would you take it

exactly...i was thinking back to hat Laporte said earlier in the season about playing time when I posted that....

He does have the air of smacked arse about him but he is a fantastic centre half and I wouldnt want him to go...however if we could get a load of cash for him (60-80m?) and he is unhappy then Pep will show him the door....he doesnt want player s here who dont want to be here.....

We may see some of that cash reinvested as well so it may increase our transfer activity a little beyond what we think...especially if there was someone else to leave...I have this funny feeling that PSG may go for Mahrez....no idea why but he just seems to fit there even with the forward line they have (id take Mahrez over De maria personally)

Would anyone swap Laporte for hazard? Obviously money is tight this summer. I can see a lot of players being used by clubs to keep the prices down. Injuries seem to have taken a toll tho. Not sure he was a fantastic player 18 months ago.

Isco no....

Asenio looked decent a couple of years back when he broke through but not watched him recently
